I was cruising north of Scotland when I have spotted a lone C2. I immediately dived and closed in for the shot. I shot one acoustic homing torpedo that hit her propeller rendered her motionless. The wind was a little bit too much for my crew to use the deck gun. So I got greedy. Instead of shooting the helpless C2 with a good aimed torpedo I decided to accelerate the time and wait the wind speed to drop below 7m/s.

After a few hours my sonarman told me that there was a warship coming in fast. Looking trough the periscope I spotted one destroyer. She was obviously called for help by the C2. I lowered my periscope but the DD easily located me and started to ping. It was to late to run. And I did not leave the scene without sinking my C2. So I decided to go to 20m below the draft of C2 and I slowly inched forward so that the bow of my sub was directly beneath the C2. The DD went crazy. She knew that I was there because she could ping me but could not attack. She turned in circles around us. When she was in a good position I hit her with a good aimed acoustic torpedo from by stern tube. She was too hit by her propeller. I had two sitting ducks waiting to be plucked. This time I did not wait for the wind to go below 7m/s and sink them with my remaining torps.
